  1. How does a 'diff' algorithm work, e.g. in VCDIFF and DiffMerge?

    Here is a page that includes a bit of documentation, full source code, and examples of a diff algorithm using the techniques in the aforementioned algorithm. The source code appears to follow the basic …

  2. algorithm - What does O (log n) mean exactly? - Stack Overflow

    Feb 22, 2010 · A common algorithm with O (log n) time complexity is Binary Search whose recursive relation is T (n/2) + O (1) i.e. at every subsequent level of the tree you divide problem into half and do …

  3. algorithm - Finding all possible combinations of numbers to reach a ...

    Jan 8, 2011 · How would you go about testing all possible combinations of additions from a given set N of numbers so they add up to a given final number? A brief example: Set of numbers to add: N = …

  4. Tower of Hanoi: Recursive Algorithm - Stack Overflow

    Aug 3, 2009 · Although I have no problem whatsoever understanding recursion, I can't seem to wrap my head around the recursive solution to the Tower of Hanoi problem. Here is the code from Wikipedia: …

  5. What are some algorithms for comparing how similar two strings are?

    What you're looking for are called String Metric algorithms. There a significant number of them, many with similar characteristics. Among the more popular: Levenshtein Distance : The minimum number …

  6. a star - A* Search Algorithm - Stack Overflow

    At each iteration the algorithm chooses a node to expand from the open set (the one with the lowest f function - the f function is the sum of the cost the algorithm already knows it takes to get to the node …

  7. algorithm - When should I use Kruskal as opposed to Prim (and vice ...

    Mar 20, 2019 · I was wondering when one should use Prim's algorithm and when Kruskal's to find the minimum spanning tree? They both have easy logics, same worst cases, and only difference is …

  8. Is there an efficient algorithm to generate a 2D concave hull?

    The answer may still be interesting for somebody else: One may apply a variation of the marching square algorithm, applied (1) within the concave hull, and (2) then on (e.g. 3) different scales that my …

  9. What is the difference between an Algorithm and a Method

    May 18, 2009 · In CS, the algorithm is the steps and the method is the means by which we do an action. All the math formulas would be algorithms as they give us instructions how to find or do something- …

  10. Fuzzy search algorithm (approximate string matching algorithm)

    The only way I can think of implementing it as a search algorithm is to perform a linear search and executing the string metric algorithm for each string and returning the strings with scores above a …
